To think Boots are taking the p***

[allstarsprincess]

I just went into my local boots to get some Saline nasal drops for my DS. I asked at the counter and was directed to some Calpol branded drops on the shelf. They are priced £4.19 not bothered about brand so asked if they have generic. They do and are priced at £2.49.

I am getting to the point....

Last month I also bought generic drops and they were 29p. When querying the price increase I was told "We have seen we can charge more for them, so we have."

I left and went to different chemists.

KEAWYED - what should I ask for to get 6+ liquid nurofen as a generic please?

I would ask for Ibuprofen suspension suitable for 6+.

Hope that helps

thank you K

Calpol probably pay boots a premium for prime shelf footage and demand the cheaper generic is hidden.
